According to the apocryphal Acts of StGeorge current in various versions in the Eastern Church from the fifth century, George held the rank of tribune in the Roman army and was beheaded by Diocletian for protesting against the Emperor's persecution of Christians.
The banner of StGeorge, the red cross of a martyr on a white background, was adopted for the uniform of English soldiers possibly in the reign of Richard 1, and later became the flag of England and the White Ensign of the Royal Navy.
StGeorge is also, of course, venerated in the Church of England, by the Orthodox churches and by the Churches of the Near East and Ethiopia.
